A 28-team playoff would, IMO, include enough of the 120 teams (about 23%) to make the playoffs a prestigious postseason destination, and would allow all conference champions to get automatic berths and give the Top 4 seeds first-round byes. It would help bring the prestige back to postseason play and give the elite teams something to shoot for (first-round bye and home field advantage).
Of course this completely disregards the bowl system, politics, money, travel, etc., but from a fan's perspective it sure would be fun to watch.
